What Is a CPR Test?
A cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) test is a test in which someone demonstrates that she or he is competent to perform CPR. If the test-taker passes, a certificate will be issued. Often, a CPR test is bundled into a CPR class, allowing people to learn CPR and get their certification in one place. People can also take standalone tests for certification or renewal of an existing certificate. Being certified in CPR can make someone more employable, as it indicates that someone is capable of performing CPR and some basic first aid in the event of an emergency.
